Is this the old newas group I was posting at?

Well yes and no. We got invaded by an idiot troll who seems to have
less sense than some and maybe more than most.

It copies and pastes old posts from some of us and then adds something
obscene and/or inflammatory and sits back giggling like a demented
schoolchild while we witter on about 'whatever'. It also crossposts to
other groups in the hope of starting up flame wars, with little
success. I think it has no idea how old most of us are in here nor how
much usenet experience we have.

I find reading new posts with the headers on makes it easier because
it's easy to tell if it's a troll post or comes from a 'real' poster.
It's harder for you of course because of the mass of unreadable stuff
in the headers. :(

Anyway, I dropped out for a while but have reverted to an old ID to
make it a easier to post. Not been in here as Skyrider for maybe 10
years - it's a real blast from the past!
